Manage Participants, and Control Meeting Access and Security
Zoom gives you a variety of tools to manage your participants, including muting one or all participants, putting an attendee on hold, or removing an attendee. You can also secure access to your meeting in a variety of ways. Are you using the same meeting room to meet privately with your students? Use the waiting room feature to keep the next student in a virtual waiting room until you finish up meeting with a student. Are you using the same meeting room to conduct online interviews? Lock your session to prevent the next applicant from joining until you are ready for them. Then, end your session and locate the session recording and attendance reports.
